They also may move their lips and read out loud. They may have difficulty with reading and writing tasks. They often do better talking to a colleague or a tape recorder and hearing what was said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong><em><span>Visual learners<\/span><\/em><\/strong> have two sub-channels\u2014linguistic and spatial. Learners who are visual-linguistic like to learn through written language, such as reading and writing tasks. They remember what has been written down, even if they do not read it more than once.<\/p>\n<p>They like to write down directions and pay better attention to lectures if they watch them. Learners who are visual-spatial usually have difficulty with the written language and do better with charts, demonstrations, videos, and other visual materials. They easily visualize faces and places by using their imagination and seldom get lost in new surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\n<span><em><strong>Kinesthetic learners<\/strong><\/em><\/span> do best while touching and moving. It also has two sub-channels: kinesthetic (movement) and tactile (touch). They tend to lose concentration if there is little or no external stimulation or movement.<\/p>\n<p>When listening to lectures they may want to take notes for the sake of moving their hands. When reading, they like to scan the material first, and then focus in on the details (get the big picture first). They typically use color high lighters and take notes by drawing pictures, diagrams, or doodling.<\/p>\n<p>Something that also plays into each of us is being right or left brained.<br \/>\nYou combine these and many more other traits and you have a little explanation of whom you are.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong><em><span>Which do you think you are?<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Those with a right-side dominant brain depend more on visual references for understanding and are often times visual learners.<\/p>\n<p>The left brain is the side that handles organization and logic.<\/p>\n<p>Try this test and see what side is your dominant:\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"en-vault-video\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/SFV6h6MXQkI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>So I am more Right Brain\u2026<br \/>\n<span><em><strong>Combine them and WhaLa:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Simultaneous Hemispheric Style:<br \/>\n<strong><em>\u00a0LEFT (Analytic) RIGHT (Global)<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em> 1.
